What are some effective debouncing techniques in Vue.js?

In Vue.js, debouncing can be achieved using methods like lodash's debounce or custom implementations. Would you like to see an example?

Yes, please provide an example using lodash.

Sure! First, install lodash: npm install lodash. Then, you can use it like this:

import { debounce } from 'lodash';

export default {
  data() {
    return { searchTerm: '' };
  },
  methods: {
    updateSearch: debounce(function() {
      // Perform search operation
      console.log(this.searchTerm);
    }, 300)
  }
};

This will delay the search operation until 300ms after the user stops typing.

What if I want to debounce a method that fetches data from an API?

You can apply the same debounce technique to your API call. Just wrap your API fetching method with debounce, like this:

fetchData: debounce(function() {
  axios.get(`api/search?query=${this.searchTerm}`).then(response => {
    this.results = response.data;
  });
}, 300)
